Navratri 2025 will be observed from September 22, 2025, to Wednesday, 1st October  2025. This is the Sharad Navratri, the most widely celebrated among the four Navratris in a year.

Ghatasthapana / Kalash Sthapana: The beginning ritual is on 22 Sept 2025 in the morning (approx. between 6:09 AM to 8:06 AM, local time) for good muhurat.

The festival runs through the phases of the lunar calendar until Vijayadashami /
Dussehra on 2 October 2025

Why It Is Called Sharad Navratri

• The word Sharad means autumn season in Sanskrit.

• This Navratri falls in the Ashwin month (Sept–Oct) during the transition from monsoon to autumn.

• Hence, it is called Sharad Navratri, distinguished from Chaitra Navratri (springtime) and the less popular Magha and Ashadha Navratris.

• It is also considered the most powerful Navratri, when Goddess Durga defeated Mahishasura, symbolizing the victory of good over evil.

Significance of Navratri in Our Life

1. Spiritual Cleansing – The 9 days symbolize purifying our mind, body, and soul by focusing on discipline, prayer, and devotion.

2. Inner Strength – Worship of Goddess Durga awakens shakti (inner power) and helps overcome obstacles in life.

3. Balance of Energies – Each day is dedicated to one form of Durga (Navadurga), teaching us courage, wisdom, love, discipline, and prosperity.

4. Health & Lifestyle Reset – Traditionally, people follow fasting, satvik food, and meditation, which help detox the body and mind.

5. Victory of Good Over Evil – Reminds us to conquer inner negativity (anger, greed, ego) and embrace virtues.
